Xenomorph Life Cycle

The xenomorph seems to propagate asexually (plant propagation) which would mean that every xenomorph is identical? Unless they change (get traits) depending on the host (e.g. humans)? If we take the film Aliens, all the xenomorphs would be identical since they all have sprung from the human settlers on LV-426? But if the host was an engineer?
The Life cycle seems to involve a living host (e.g. a human) which slowly disintegrates and changes into an egg (in which a face hugger will develope). The Face hugger seeks a new host and plants an embryo in the stomach (through a tube inserted in the victim's throat). The embryo will grow (feeding on the host) and eventually chew itself out and grow into a new xenomorph and the cycle will start all over again.
In The Thing, the alien could mimic its host’s individual traits and become identical with it which is something that the xenomorph apparently does not? But if the host is a different species (an ox in Alien 3) it will become somewhat different?
I wonder what would happen if you “fed” a xenomorph with the mutagen (the black goo)? What would it evolve into?
i buy qes takes.
I also buy the take of the origin of xeno being a more primitive anscient beast with unique biology and bacteria traits.
So like finding a dog and turning it into a wolf, or a lion through technologic exprimentations engineers made.
So like we take venom from snakes to make remedys for diseases they take blood from this species or something and make goo and all other stuff, but their biology is so unique at a celular level that is constantly evolving when it finds a host. Kinda like venom symbiosis in spiderman comics..so no matter how they reverse it the bacterial traits allways find a way to evolve and take over lifeforms to dominate.
Then perfect organism could be tackled this way...the original beast was weaponised.
But i wil have a more cohesive theory when i see ac and see if those eggs were there or were created by david..and see how diferent is this so called protomorph..is he the origin..the anscient primitive specie thats gonna be weaponised by david? Or is he the weaponisee version already but still not refined..
This is the answer im looking foward
